Thanks to everybody who replied. I got this working. First of all, on the repeater I had to define dot11Radio0 (under interface config) as an infrastructure-client. Second of all, I could not get this working without using VLANs. That is, I had to use dot1q subinterfaces and make the VLAN associated with the infrastructure SSID the native VLAN. Seems unlogical. Admittingly, I didn't go into too much testing after I got this working nicely, but looks like an interesting bug.
